Chapter 460: The guests are all very interested in catching cicadas(1/2)
At this time, more and more customers are coming after hearing the news.
These include Xiao Yue, Zhang Ruier, Liu Xu and others.
Xiao Yue happily said to Li You: "Boss, I heard that cicadas are going to be arrested?"
Cicada, commonly known as cicada. Some people are used to saying cicada, others are used to saying cicada, or some other local names.
Li You nodded and smiled: "Indeed. I didn't expect that all of you would be interested."
Xiao Yue said: "I must be interested! I have never caught a cicada specifically, and I am very curious about how to catch it? Also, I just saw a cicada on a tree. It was not high up.
You can catch it if you stretch out your hand. I tried to catch it, but the person flew away before he even got close."
Li You said: "Cicada's reaction speed is fast and his vigilance is high. The possibility of catching it with bare hands is very low."
Xiao Yue nodded, "Indeed. When the person approached and was at least one meter away, he flew away."
Li You added: "So, we need to prepare a tool."
Xiao Yuedao: "I'm just curious about what kind of tool can catch cicadas?"
Li You smiled and said, "You'll find out later."
At this time, Li You chose a bamboo pole. It was about three meters long, relatively thin, and light in weight. It was easy to hold it in the hand.
That’s it.
Li You handed the bamboo pole to Wei Yu and said, "Xiaoyu, try it, do you think it's important?"
"Okay."
Wei Yu took the bamboo pole, weighed it in his hand a few times, and then said, "Uncle Li You, it's not heavy."
"Okay. That's it then." Li You said.
After finishing speaking, he took the bamboo pole over again. Then he found a piece of bamboo, or a piece of bamboo strip.
It is about one meter long and one centimeter wide. It is said that the strips are more suitable. They are leftover from the previous weaving of the floor cage.
"The materials are all here. Let's go back to the store." Li You said to Wei Yu, Wei Yuxi, and the rest of the people.
Xiao Yue, Zhang Ruier and other people who didn't understand what kind of tool Li You wanted to make were very confused.
Have you found all the materials? It’s just a bamboo pole and a piece of bamboo strip. What kind of tool can be made from this?
I can't imagine it.
Just because I can’t imagine it, I’m even more curious.
They all followed Li You and walked to the front of the store. They were afraid of missing what Li You would do next.
Those whose hometowns are in rural areas and who grew up in rural areas all have indifferent smiles on their faces.
Sure enough.
The tool the boss wants to make is indeed the same tool they used to catch cicadas when they were children.
I didn’t expect that after so many years, I could still see someone making that kind of tool, and I could still see someone using that kind of tool to catch cicadas.
There is really an illusion that time has not gone far.
It feels pretty good. I’m looking forward to catching cicadas next.
After Li You led everyone back to the front of the store, he went to find a piece of rope in the utility room.
Then, bend the strip into the shape of a badminton racket, which is about the same size. Then fix it to one end of the bamboo pole with a rope.
After it is fixed, if you ignore the length of the bamboo pole, it will look like a badminton racket.
At this point, the tool is completed. It’s that simple.
However, neither the two children Wei Yu and Wei Yuxi, nor Xiao Yue, Zhang Ruier and others understood how to catch cicadas with this thing?
Can you catch cicadas in this way?
Impossible?
Li You smiled and said: "Of course this won't work. We have to take the last step, which is also the most important step, and that is to wrap the place with spider webs."
Li You said while pointing to the position of the badminton racket shape.
Tangled in a spider web?
Xiao Yue, Zhang Ruier and others were all thoughtful.
Soon, everyone's eyes lit up, and they all understood. It turned out that the stickiness of the spider web was used to stick the cicada.
The tool covered with spider webs, like a badminton racket, slowly approached Cicada. After getting very close, he quickly pressed forward to cover Cicada.
In this way, cicadas will naturally stick to the spider web.
What a brilliant idea!
After understanding it, Xiao Yue, Zhang Ruier and others were inexplicably excited.
However, this method is indeed very wonderful. But can it really catch cicadas?
Li You smiled and said: "You will know later. If you use this tool to catch cicadas, the success rate is not only 100%, but at least 80%."
The success rate is 80%, which is quite high.
Xiao Yue, Zhang Ruier and others are even more excited. They can't wait to see Li You in action.
At this time, two children, Wei Yu and Wei Yuxi, also understood the principle of using this tool to catch cicadas. They looked very excited and both cheered.
They are even more impatient.
However, for Li You, there is still a problem. That is where to tie the spider web?
If you are in a village, it is very easy. There are spider webs under the eaves of many houses. You can find them just by looking.
But here, there are no spider webs in front of or behind the house. It seems that we can only go back to the village.
It's a bit of a waste of time, but there's nothing we can do about it.
Of course, when Li You decided to make this kind of tool, he knew he could only go back to the village to get spider webs.
He calculated the time and found it was enough.
It's only 2:50 in the afternoon. Go back to the village and run a little faster. You'll be back here around 3:30.
There is still enough time to catch cicadas.
So, Li You said to everyone: "Because there are no spider webs here, I can only go back to the village to get spider webs. Everyone, please wait for me and I will be back soon."
Everyone nodded. They didn't see any spider webs here. So they really had to go back to the village to get spider webs.
Wei Ping said: "Boss, it's really troublesome for you. You have to make a special trip back to the village."
Li You waved his hand and said: "Master Wei is too polite. What's the point? You see everyone is so interested. We should also thank Xiaoyu and Xiaoxi for proposing to catch Zhi."
"Indeed. We must thank the two children. Otherwise, we wouldn't know that we can still use such homemade tools to catch them."
"Thank you two children for giving us the opportunity to participate in such an interesting thing."
"..."
The guests all echoed what Li You just said.
This made the two children Wei Yu and Wei Yuxi even more excited.
Wei Ping's family expressed their gratitude to everyone.
Afterwards, Li You said to Xiao Yue: "Xiao Yue, come with me. Sit behind and help me pick up the pole."
The three-meter-long bamboo pole is placed along the motorcycle, and only less than one meter is exposed in the front and rear. There is no problem and it will not affect driving safety.
Xiao Yue nodded repeatedly and said yes.
Of course she is very happy with this kind of thing.
Li You handed the bamboo pole to Xiao Yue. Then he walked to the motorcycle, got on the motorcycle, and started the fire.
Xiao Yue took the bamboo pole and climbed into the back seat.
Xiao Yue is not short either, about 165 centimeters tall. Her legs are still very long.
Although she is not as beautiful as Ling Xiaoru, Mu Qingye and others, she can definitely be regarded as a beauty.
This was her first time riding Li You's motorcycle, and she was inexplicably excited.
Hold the bamboo pole along the motorcycle.
Li You sets off.
……
Ten minutes later, Li You and Xiao Yue returned to the entrance of Changle Village.
Xiao Yue has been to the village before when she bought grapes and peaches. She is no stranger to the village.
Under a big tree at the entrance of the village, some villagers were sitting on stone benches chatting.
After seeing Li You and Xiao Yue, they both looked at Xiao Yue curiously. They were thinking, "Why did Xiao You bring a different and beautiful girl back today?"
Then, they all noticed the bamboo pole Xiao Yue was holding.
This is...
Of course the villagers recognized the purpose of the bamboo pole at a glance. They wrapped one end of the bamboo pole, a device similar to a badminton racket, with a spider web, and then used it to catch cicadas.
Children in the village often do this.
